Cycle Mechanic training
Hounslow Council is offering bike mechanic training to women and young people in Hounslow enabling them to gain employable skills and become community advocates for active travel.
The course will be delivered by Bikeworks and they will train 12 Hounslow residents, preparing them for careers in cycling mechanics and related community roles.
Twelve participants will receive hands-on training, culminating in a City and Guilds Level 2 qualification. This certification enables them to work in professional cycle repair shops or run community Dr Bike sessions.
By increasing the number of bike mechanics, this initiative supports low-carbon, active travel options and reduces reliance on private cars, particularly in areas with limited public transport access.
